Is the jaundice severe, which is caused by what was previously mentioned as "milk teeth"?

Patient's question:

Is the jaundice, which is quite severe, caused by what was previously referred to as "milk teeth"?
Treatment history and effectiveness: Undergone blue light treatment for 3 days.
What kind of help is desired: Is it effective to use the method previously mentioned by people, where rice water and white cloth are used to rub the teeth? Or should blue light treatment continue?

Doctor's answer:

A newborn may develop jaundice again shortly after birth due to excessively high levels of bilirubin in their body. This is a physiological phenomenon, typically resolving around one month of age. If it persists beyond this time, it becomes pathological jaundice. Treatment can include corticosteroids and blue light therapy, depending on the severity. In severe cases, phototherapy may be necessary. Please do not rely on folk remedies. The above advice is for the question "Is jaundice in a two-month-old baby serious and related to the past?" We hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
